If they opt to keep things the same then it is not refreshed and yes the risk is lower.

Failure can happen anyplace in the lifecylce.
The valve spring recall from the 2013s had nothing to do with first run issue (there were 400,000 other cars involved) and neither does this sealant issue really. Remember they have been making near identical 2.4s for over four years now. If it had been an injector issue it could be attributed to new processes but it is exactly the same bottom end in the Ascent engines.

Thanks for the info.
